Chocolate Chip Granola Cookies

Just Another Cookie Monday, what is that you might ask well it’s the brainchild of Prudy@Butter,Basil and Breadcrumbs. When I got an email asking me to participate in this cookie extravaganza I didn’t even hesitate to say YES, of course I would love to. First of all anything for Prudy, one of my absolute Fave bloggers and a real sweetheart, secondly, who doesn’t love cookies and anything to spread the cookie love is a very good thing. I hope you all enjoy my recipe.

The season of giving (cookies) is almost upon us and I am starting to make my cookie dough in preparation for the gift boxes, Secret Santa and Holiday Parties that are planned. The other day I made a lot of granola. Granola is one of my favorite things, and homemade is what I really like best. I was feeling creative and used my recipe for chocolate chip cookies and changed and adapted to include some granola. My homemade granola is full of really good stuff, almond meal (left after making almond milk) coconut, brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, pecans and I toast until really crisp. The resulting cookies are really nice, chewy and crisp at the same time, a little salty (in a good way) and chocolatey. They will make a really nice addition to my gift boxes. Head over to Prudy’s now for the recipe and see all the totally dreamy recipes she has for you.

Finally — a reason to look forward to Monday! Those look delicious. I sure wish i had some to treat myself after dealing with willow-oak leaves this morning, but back to my telework day now.
Huge hugs to you and Nando! 😀

Adding granola to chocolate chip cookies sounds SO amazing, oh my word! I need to try that sometime. Love the ingredients of maple syrup and almond meal she used to, those are 2 of my top favorite baking ingredients. The cookies look mouthwatering and the perfect cookie to me HAS to have chocolate chips in it!

Chocolate yes always. Thank you. The granola I make is just perfect in the cookies, nuts, coconut, maple syrup and really crunchy. Thanks Brandi. Just saw your post for the totally delicious ginger chocolate chips off to read that now. Thank you.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.
